SPICY SHEET-PAN SAUSAGE AND SQUASH



Spicy Sheet-Pan Sausage and Squash image

Like chicken thighs, whose rendered skin leaves behind a puddle of schmaltz for frying vegetables, bread or beans, sausage yields a delicious fat for cooking. Paired with butternut squash and crisped in a hot oven, its spicy fat slicks the sweet squash, while parsley and lemon cut through all the richness. Feel free to switch up the squash for carrots, broccoli, potatoes: Any vegetables that are good roasted will work well in that liquid gold. If the meal seems light, bulk it up by topping with a cup of feta or rinsed canned chickpeas, adding arugula or watercress to the parsley, or serving it all on a bed of kale or mustard greens, like a warm salad.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (2-pound) butternut squash, peeled, halved lengthwise and seeded
1 pound spicy sausage (fresh chorizo, Italian, Andouille or otherwise)
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 1/2 cup parsley leaves
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice, plus more as desired
Flaky salt, as desired

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 425 degrees and stick a large baking sheet in the oven. Prep the squash and sausage: Cut the squash into 1/2-inch-thick slices, then cut the slices crosswise in half. Transfer to a large bowl. Score the sausages in a few places on both sides, making sure not to cut all the way through. Transfer to the bowl with the squash, then stir to coat with the olive oil and fat pinches of salt and pepper.
  • When the oven comes to temperature, carefully dump the squash and sausage mixture onto the hot baking sheet and spread it out into a single layer. Roast, stirring every so often to coat the squash in the rendered fat, until the squash is tender and sausages are crisp and cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes. (To add some color, put them under the broiler for a minute or two.) Let cool slightly while you prepare the parsley.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the parsley and lemon juice, and add salt and pepper to taste. Slice the sausage diagonally in thirds. Serve the sausage and squash on a platter with a pile of parsley on top and sprinkled with an extra squeeze of lemon and flaky salt, if desired.

ROASTED SAUSAGES WITH CABBAGE AND SQUASH



Roasted Sausages with Cabbage and Squash image

In this easy sheet-pan supper, sweet Italian sausages are teamed with wedges of cabbage and kabocha squash, then the whole thing is drizzled with a mustardy apple-cider vinaigrette. Because cabbage releases moisture when cooked, start with a preheated baking sheet for extra browning power.

1/2 kabocha squash (1 pound), seeds removed, cut into 3/4-inch wedges

  • Toss onion and sage with 1 tablespoon oil; season with salt and pepper. Flip sausages and vegetables; add onion mixture to sheet. Continue to roast until vegetables are tender and sausages are cooked, 20 minutes.

SUMMER SQUASH WITH POTATOES AND SAUSAGE



Summer Squash With Potatoes and Sausage image

I was hungry last night and had these ingredients on hand. I decided to mix them and see what would happen. This was so good, I'd make it again (reheated leftovers were a good lunch today, too). And it's inexpensive when the veggies are in season. It's versatile and forgiving - ingredients can be substituted easily. This would also be a nice meat-free dish without the sausage. Quite filling on its own.

1/3 cup light caesar salad dressing
1/4 teaspoon fresh cracked pepper
1/2 teaspoon italian seasoning (optional)
4 ounces summer sausage, cut into 1/4-inch thick rounds, then cut in half (I used Hillshire Farms)
1/3 cup feta cheese, crumbled

Tips:

  • Choose the right squash: Butternut squash, acorn squash, and kabocha squash are all great choices for this recipe. Look for squash that is firm and free of blemishes.
  • Cut the squash into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly. If you are using a butternut squash, cut it in half lengthwise and then scoop out the seeds. Cut the squash into 1-inch cubes.
  • Brown the sausage: This will add flavor and help to render the fat. Cook the sausage over medium heat until it is browned on all sides.
  • Add the vegetables and spices: Once the sausage is browned, add the onion, celery, and garlic to the pan. Cook until the vegetables are softened. Then, add the spices: cumin, chili powder, and paprika.
  • Add the squash and broth: Stir in the squash and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the squash is tender.
  • Serve: Ladle the squash and sausage mixture into bowls and top with shredded cheese and sour cream. Serve immediately.

Conclusion:

This simple squash and sausage soup is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover squash. The combination of sweet squash, savory sausage, and aromatic spices makes this soup a surefire hit. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give this squash and sausage soup a try. You won't be disappointed.
